Top 10 Most Viewed Indian Video on YouTube

1. Despacito by Luis Fonsi with Daddy Yankee - 6.15 billion YouTube views
If you take a look at Billboard's Top 100 Songs of 2017, you'll find Despacito in second place. It's pretty clear that popular songs can turn into popular YouTube videos as well. And with over 6.15 billion video views, it's pretty clear why this is the most viewed YouTube video. You have the music repeat factor where you watch it again just to hear the song. And in 2017, Spotify was popular, but not as popular as it is today. Despacito’s video has all the hallmarks of a popular music video: dance footage, beautiful people, palm trees, natural scenery, a club scene, and of course the catchiest song to sing. The song is entirely in Spanish, making it one of three on this list of the top ten most viewed YouTube videos that are not in English.

2. Shape of You by Ed Sheeran - 4.17 billion YouTube views
The second most watched YouTube video is the Shape of You music video with over 4.17 billion video views. Another interesting detail is that he was actually number one on Billboard's Hot 100 Songs in 2017, beating Despacito. Unlike most videos, where the singer sings in front of the camera, Shape of You is like a 4 minute film telling the story of an athletic couple, and the song is just background music. The movie-style music video is not overly common, making it a compelling love story to watch. There are also some fun times when Ed Sheeran and a sumo wrestler fight in the ultimate match. It also contains a deep message of empowering women: Sheeran is a weakling over her love. Most Viewed Indian Video on YouTube
